70 Chally grill color
« on: August 31, 2006 - 01:32:18 PM »
I need to re paint the grill on my 70 R/T but don't know if it should be flat or "satin" black - certainly not gloss.  Should I use a spray paint specially for plastic (and if so, which product) or is there a better way?  Any advise is appreciated!  :newbie:
Thanks

I went with Totally Auto too.  :thumbsup: By the way, the grill surround is aluminum. So is the egg-crate center section, if you plan on painting that too. You might want to pick up some self-etching primer if you are totally stripping the grill before you paint it. Eastwood's is one company that carries it.
